The blue-haired child nodded, turned around and replied slowly to Wuyuan: "The adult told me, your name is Wuyuan, I have purchased firewood and ingredients for you for nearly a whole month, and when the adult is occasionally absent, dinner is also prepared by me, so we can be regarded as acquaintances, I don't know where I came from, but since birth, I have followed the adults, the adults call me Xiaoqueer, and the source also calls me Xiaoqueer, I like this name very much, as for the age, I haven't calculated it carefully, about eighty years old." After speaking, Xiao Que'er looked at Wu Yuan with bright eyes.

Hearing this, Wan Yuan nodded first, thinking to himself, it turned out that such a beautiful child was a boy, which was a pity, but after thinking about it carefully, he looked at him in surprise, eight ...... Eighty years old, this, does a bird have such a long lifespan, but what did it just say? Followed Bai Ran since birth? That Bai Ran......

After listening to the little finch's words, Bai Ran always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he saw Ruoyuan's eyes full of horror, questioning and scrutiny, and finally understood what was wrong, and he held his forehead deeply in his heart, and he couldn't wait to put the little finch back into its eggs, but his face was still relaxed and natural, and he asked softly: "Why do you look like this, is there something wrong?" ”

Wan Yuan settled down, there were a lot of stimuli encountered this night, she obviously needed to digest it, but she didn't ask clearly, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep, so she said weakly: "Little Queer, I just said that he has followed you since birth, and now he is almost eighty or eighty years old...... So, what about you? How old are you? ”

"What do you think?" The last ray of light on the horizon was swallowed up at this time, and before the two of them could hold the lamp, the valley suddenly darkened, which happened to cover the worry and fatigue in Bai Ran's eyes.

Wan Yuan was a little angry, she couldn't figure out when the sentence "What do you think?" It turned out to be Bai Ran's standard answer to all her questions, and it seemed that it was a hundred times unpleasant, but this time she definitely didn't plan to let him fool her, because she intuitively thought that this topic was the beginning of understanding Bai Ran's origin, and even more, maybe a key to unlock the unclear fate between the two of them.

For a long time, because of her growing trust, she has not studied many things, such as that he is not limited by time and can enter and exit the valley at will, and whether the jade lock he gave her on the "Lixia Festival" is the jade contract in the old man's mouth, and for example, he used powerful techniques to set up a stealth barrier for her, manipulate the gorgeous laurel flowers, and so on, too many flaws and loopholes, all because he said that he would tell the truth after she finished learning, she thought it was true, and she didn't mention it, but not mentioning it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Today, I accidentally glimpsed it, and once again aroused the series of doubts in my heart, and the thoughts of desperately looking for answers intensified in my mind, and I always felt that there was something that was about to be irrepressible to break out of the cocoon, but before she could catch it, she suddenly disappeared, just dragging her to explore the depths on her own.

In the night, Wu Yuan groped his way to pick up the oil lamp from the ground, and took out the fire fold from his arms, and lit the lamp with two "poofs". Wan Yuan sat upright again, facing Bai Ran, just happened to see his expression before he could hide it, suppressed the unbearability in his heart, and forced himself to say with a straight face: "Don't you want to fool the past tonight, since I promised to believe you, I won't break my promise, but at the same time, you also have to believe that I am, don't always prevaricate, I just ask you, is what Xiao Que'er said true, how old are you now?" ”

Bai Ran saw that she was clearly a child at this time, but her eyes were full of firmness, and she suddenly understood in her heart that she was afraid that she would not be able to escape tonight, and she originally wanted Xiao Que to come out to solve the siege, but this stupid child made things more tricky, and she had a kind of heart congestion that lost her wife and broke her soldiers.

Looking at Xiao Queer at this time, he also knew that he had been in trouble by talking too much, and he had long lost the excitement he had started, so he squatted on the ground with his head down and repented of the grass.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ran said faintly, "It's not that I want to prevaricate you, but I said it before, the situation is complicated and I really don't know where to start, I just want to wait for you to grow up and tell you slowly, but since you insist on this tonight, I will tell you some." ”

Looking at the soft face of the crossbow under the firelight, he paused, then opened his eyes, and cleared his throat: "Cough, Xiao Que'er is right, he is indeed born by me, but I fell into a deep sleep not long after it was born, I and the Taoist priest are both cultivators, but the techniques practiced are slightly different, at that time I suffered a heavy blow, sleep is a kind of spontaneous protection of the body, I can't remember the specific time, maybe as the little bird said, there is a hundred and eighty years."

During the slumber, by chance, the spirit body went out of the body and met your father, who was not there at that time, and then learned that your father and mother were in trouble because of you, so he asked a Taoist priest to help, and then he took you away and raised you to this day, so I once said that I know your father and mother, and know everything about you. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Ran paused again, his eyes darkened, and he pursed his lips and said, "If you count me as being unconscious like that, lying alone in the cold cave, as if I am alive, it seems that it has indeed been a long time; But as far as I'm concerned, that kind of Bai Ran can never be called alive, at most it's just not dead......"

A muffled sound of "tom" interrupted Bai Ran's words, Wan Yuan's fingers trembled slightly, he bent over to pick up the tea cup that fell on the grass, didn't care about the splashed cloth shoes, only hung his head and whispered: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to be like this; I'm sorry to make you sad, you don't need to talk about it anymore. ”

Seeing her like this, Bai Ran only felt that his heart twitched slightly, raised his hand and stroked the broken hair on her forehead, and said softly: "It's all over, it's okay, it has nothing to do with you, I didn't plan to tell you so early, I was afraid that you would be like this, and today is considered to be a collision, if you know, you will know, if you want to know the details, I will find time to talk to you in detail." ”

Hearing this, Wan Yuan shook his head and waved his hand busily, and said: "No need, it was my curiosity that caused trouble, but I caught you off guard and revealed the scar, it was me who was wrong, you have already told me the truth today, I will not ask again, wait until you think it is appropriate."

Bai Ran smiled, "Okay, what Wu Yuan said, it's just that you remember, the only thing you need to do now, the first is to study diligently, and the second is ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, looked at Wu Yuan with a sly expression, successfully took her away from the emotion just now, and asked curiously: "What is the second?" ”

"Second, I guess, that's what you and I both want...... That is, you have to grow up quickly, or I may be old. ”

Looking at Bai Ran's teasing expression, Wan Yuan didn't know if it was her own delusion, and she always felt that after Bai Ran finished saying this, her face burned badly, it was obviously a normal sentence, and he said it with a bit of charm, which made her hear the unusual meaning.

At this time, she still has to keep telling herself in her heart, although she will be eleven in September, she is still a child, even if she has the soul of a girl living in her heart all the year round, but she still can't be unusual, but it seems that for a moment, she actually agrees with what Bai Ran said from the bottom of her heart, and she can't wait to grow up quickly, so that she can carefully dig out the emotions that make her flustered and find out.

The two chatted for a long time this night, and at the end of the day, Bai Ran called the little finch who had begun to squat on the ground and nap, helped him to stand up, and said to Wu Yuan: "Now that it has been said, then the little finch will follow you from now on, I still have some things to deal with recently, and when I am no longer in the valley, let him take care of you, and I can rest assured." ”

Wan Yuan looked at Xiao Qi'er's three or four-year-old appearance, and still couldn't bear to say: "That's it, he's like this, I take care of him about the same." ”

"Wrong, after all, he has lived to be 'eighty's years old, but the experience is beyond your reach now, and his age is a lively and active age in the blue race, you don't need to feel distressed, if you feel that you can't take care of it, you just have to go back, I will let it go back to where it came from." Bai Ran turned to stare at Xiao Que'er as he spoke, and the words were particularly aggravated "Eighty years old", hearing Xiao Que'er's excitement, knowing that the adult was punishing him, he hurriedly nodded, indicating that he must take care of Wu Yuan, and finally turned around and waved his hand to Wu Yuan, asking her not to want him, he didn't want to go back to the bird's egg.

This little finch trembled with fright, but the same words in the ears of Wu Yuan made her laugh, and she was surprised to find that Bai Ran's gentle and elegant face also had a careful calculation and childish side, so she raised her eyebrows and looked at him quite unexpectedly.

Bai Ran saw Xiao Que'er's honest appearance now, and finally saw a stretch between his eyebrows, only to turn his head and see Wu Yuan looking at him with interest, and there was a trace of amazement on his face, while the roots of his ears were not burned, he got up busily, stroked the fold of his robe at will, and said: "It's not early, if you have nothing to do, let's rest." He turned and strode towards the cabin.

And Wu Yuan just got up slowly at this time, staring at the back of the scurried back with the little finch who was stunned at this time, only to hear the little finch ask: "Is it my delusion, why do adults seem to be unsteady, slightly impatient, and a little bit of running away." ”

The corners of his mouth lifted lightly, touched his head, and said lightly: "That's right, that's it." ”

When the lights outside the house were completely extinguished, Bai Ran, who was still lying on the bed and not sleeping, looked at the bed board above and meditated, although tonight's conversation was never within his expectations, but it didn't seem to be too surprising, the original Yuan of this life was different from the one he was once familiar with, but it seemed to have some similar qualities, to be precise, the overall character should be richer and more agile and full, as if ...... It was as vivid as if the stone had finally bloomed, and his mind was full of the vivid and playful appearance of Wu Yuan, and he actually laughed a little when he thought about it.

Since the lengthy knots of those years have been untied, then it means that the distance between them is gradually narrowing, which should be a good thing, and he doesn't have to worry about Wuyuan's attachment to the past in a short time, without this worry, he can focus on the tricky thing at the moment, thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows again, and before he thought about it, a whisper called in his ears: "National Teacher, are you there?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Ran immediately lifted the quilt, and in a blink of an eye, he was outside the wooden house, looking at Wuyuan's house, and at this time, the little finch that had returned into a bird rose from the head of Wuyuan's bed, and one flashed, kneeling down to Bai Ran's side with a fist in the form of a human, "My lord, what are your orders?" ”

And Bai Ran didn't say much when he was pressed for time, he only ordered: "I'll go out of the valley once, at least the next day, you are optimistic about her, if there is a mistake, you don't have to appear in front of me." ”

"Yes, please rest assured." Different from the previous appearance of a playful child, at this moment he is serious and serious, as if he has changed his soul.

When the words fell, Bai Ran tightened his sleeves and raised his eyes to look at the sky, as if he was a little hesitant, but his ears sounded again: "National teacher, national teacher, can you hear it." Then, a crisp and neat spin turned into a flash of light and rushed to the sky.
